Jakarta. President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo officially opened a newly-built toll road connecting Soreang and Pasirkoja, abbreviated as Soroja, in Bandung, West Java, on Monday (04/12).

The new 10.5-kilometer toll road, located in southern Bandung, is expected to cut down travel time between both areas to only 12 minutes from a previous two hours.

"Southern Bandung has great potency, it has industry, tourism, immense sport facilities and it's also the center for the Bandung administration," Jokowi said in his speech during the ceremony, as quoted in a statement.
